Charles Officer (1975 – 2023) was a Canadian film and television director, writer, actor, and professional hockey player. His diverse career encompassed graphic design, acting on stage and screen, and eventually directing. His debut short film, "When Morning Comes," premiered at the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival to widespread acclaim. Following this success, his second film, "Short Hymn_Silent War," premiered at TIFF 2002, earning a Special Jury Citation and a subsequent nomination for a Genie Award in 2004. "Nurse.Fighter.Boy," his first feature film, was shot over 23 days in Toronto. Officer's multifaceted journey in the arts sadly concluded when he passed away in Toronto at the age of 48.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
